由于气候稳定和人的影响降低,Kaziranga国家公园在3 300年的时间里成为印度独角犀牛的最后避难所。
Kaziranga National Park became the last refuge for Indian one-horned rhinos over 3,300 years due to climate stability and lower human impact.
由Birbal Sahni Palaeosciences研究所牵头、在Catena出版的一项研究表明,由于印度东北部气候稳定和人类压力降低,Kaziranga国家公园在过去3 300年里成为印度独角犀牛的最后主要避难所。
A study led by the Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeosciences, published in Catena, reveals that Kaziranga National Park became the last major refuge for the Indian one-horned rhinoceros over the past 3,300 years due to climate stability and lower human pressure in northeastern India.
研究人员利用沉积岩芯的花粉和真菌孔分析,发现犀牛由于气候变化、生境损失和人类活动而从印度西北部消失,因此向东迁移。
Using pollen and fungal spore analysis from a sediment core, researchers found rhinos migrated eastward as they vanished from northwestern India due to climate shifts, habitat loss, and human activity.
研究结果突显了影响野生动物分布的长期生态变化,并强调了Kaziranga在气候变化和入侵物种等持续威胁下在保护生物多样性方面的关键作用。
The findings highlight long-term ecological changes that shaped wildlife distribution and underscore Kaziranga’s critical role in conserving biodiversity amid ongoing threats like climate change and invasive species.
